Abstract
The tests of hypotheses presented in the previous chapter were “parametric tests”, that is, they concerned parameters of distributions. In order to apply these tests, certain conditions about the distributions must be verified. In practice, these tests are applied when the sampling distributions of the data variables reasonably satisfy the normal model.
